There are just a couple of days left !!!
The dates for 2026: July 1st – October 12th
This year’s MYC is almost over!!! Make sure you finish up by next Monday!!!
We started with 26 shops and unfortunately one had to withdraw. Don’t worry if you didn’t get to that shop, it won’t count against you. The other 25 shops are waiting for you to visit them.
There’s nothing you need to do when you’re finished if you are using the electronic passport. You’ll automatically be entered into the final drawings. Paper passports will need to be received by end of day on 10/16/2026 to be entered into the final drawings.
For those who haven’t participated before, the Maine Yarn Cruise is not an actual boat cruise, rather it’s a summer and early fall yarn crawl. As a “cruiser”, you can visit any participating shop to purchase a passport with a custom MYC bag, complete with goodies from our wonderful sponsors and shops. Then start your cruise and visit as many shops as you can between July 1st, and October 12th (Indigenous Peoples’ Day).
Each shop offers monthly prizes and a grand prize drawing. And if you visit all the shops, you can enter the drawing to win our End-of-the-Road Grand Prize—a $400 gift card and second place is a $200 gift card to the MYC shop of your choice. Throughout the summer, you can expect special events, local festivals, knit-a-longs, crochet-a-longs, prizes, and other fun.
The images for this years bag just dropped and we can’t be more excited!!! Here is a glimpse of what to expect…
Embark on a self-guided journey and visit local yarn stores in Maine. Participate in the Maine Yarn Cruise for the chance to win great prizes, collect MYC stamps in your passport, and much more.
** NOTICE **
Many of the participating shops are small and while we strive to keep our information up to date; we can not anticipate a possible closure due to illness or an emergency. Please contact the shops you plan to visit directly prior to finalizing your travel plans. We are not responsible for individual shop closures.
